Dilemma... TDK 24x or Plextor 24x?

[nycxandy]

Hrmm... which one should I get? Does the extra 60-70 dollars make up for the performance from the Plex? Thanks...

I actually believe that you should not get either, and go for the LiteOn 24x. It's got a price that closely rivals (or beats) the TDK, I just bought one from newegg for $128 + shipping, also the performance greatly rivals the Plextor drives. LiteOn's do SD2, as well, which is a plus Just my $.02, but I think I'm sold on LiteOn now (also got 16x dvd drive in the same order, "the second fastest overall opitcal drive!" )
